Fuel rail question

Ive been looking into the billet fuel rails from Mcoy and even though I think they are nice, Ive read on here that you have to turn your FP way up. Is this true? Also, Im on this mission to gut this engine compartment, one of my main goals was to make it easier to get to the Dist. hold down bolt. EGR sol, Coil, MAP bracket is gone, EGR is gone, whats standing in my way is the wiper motor and worst of all the fuel rail. Im not sure I want the billet one if you have to jack up the FP so I was wondering, can I have my fuel rail modified to go around the front of the intake plenum instead of behind it? Any help is appreciated.

i don;t know why every body has problems getting to the dist. hold down bolt.

get yourselve a 1/4 ranchet with a long exterion a 14MM socket, wobble extension, and grind down that $2 socket until you can reach that bolt in 2 sec.

That is how I do it but its stil a pain in the ass. Plus when your socket falls off cause there is so much damn cluter in there its a real b#*tch to get out.

Re: Fuel rail question

I got one too but I would just rather open the area up. Its my personal preference. I just dont see hte point in dealing with losing stuff in the first place. And not to mention, trying to get the hold down clamp on is also a PITA. Just got a quote for $50 to have this done. Small investment IMO, The asprin adds up pretty quick.

thats why you need to wrap the connection in electrical tape. It wont fall off then. I personally use a 9/16" 12pnt wobble extension w/ 1/4" drive and as long as the harness for the injectors isnt bound up in my way it isnt all that bad.

Re: Fuel rail question

Ive already made up my mind. Im having the stock fuel rail modified. Installation and removal of the rail itself would be easier too. I vaguely remember having to take the plenum off to get the rail off. This way, should I need to get the rail off, the plenum can stay on. Main reason though is better access. As of now Ive been using a small piece of shop towel to stuff into the socket which works pretty good but still, too much dickin around IMO. Hey Ghettosled, not to jump off topic here but Ive tried callin RPM a few times with an Ultimate question and nonone ever answers. Im sure you guys are slammed with things to do so do you mind if I send you a PM to ask?

Re: Fuel rail question

My question about the fuel rail (stock) was what is it's capacity? i.e., do people swap the stocker because it cannot flow enough fuel for high horse applications, or is it strictly a cosmetic change? They sure are purdy....

I would say it is generally a cosmetic chage, my truck still has the stock fuel rail/lines and I can never say I have had a fuel delivery problem.

Re: Fuel rail question

For 90% of the people the rails are a cosmetic change, and a cheaper replacement then a set of cracked factory rails from the dealer. When you start taking a truck making serious power with say 96# injectors in a batch fire system, you need the extra volume in the fuel rail. The only reason the fp may change is if you sump the tank and add a new super high flow pump and the return line cant keep up.

oh yeh.. as for reaching us, just leave a message, email (best) or pm.
